Seem like my 1 1/2 month old 5DmkII is broken due to a err 30. A quick seach on Internet gave me a lot of hits with stories about the same problem.
Is this a "typical problem" with the 5DII?

Send it into Canon. Not many other ways around the issue, unfortunately. Perhaps try shooting without lens/memory card to see if the error clears (and is tied to one of those components).
We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.

Thansk... I have returned the camera to the local camera pusher. But due to vacation time it may take some weeks before I have it back [].
The company that does the service for Canon in Norway claimed that the camera has been damaged by water and that ALL electronics has to be replaced at a price at 15000 NOK (the price of the camera was 20000).
I cannot understand where the water should come from. The day the camera failed I was in France - about to start walking up to a mountain (watching a stage in the Tour de France). Before I walked I put the camera in a plastic bag and placed in inside a Lowpro AW trekker II, wrapped the build-in rain cover on the Lowpro and start walking. I did not open the bag before I reached the top of the mountain. By then the rain has stopped. Everything inside the bag was dry... but the camera, inside the plastic bag was damaged!
However, this will be my words against them. How can they say that it is damaged by water?
Woops, forgot to write that the rain started AFTER I put the camera in the bag.
At this point I might buy a 1D for the durability and weather sealing it provides. But regarless of what you choose to do its going to be expensive.

Jorn,
I have been using Canonequipment for over 35 years and have made contacts that can give me information about their products.
Hope the information helped you.

Jorn,
A lesson learned for this kind of problem is to remove the battery from the camera ASAP.
This would have prevented the electrolysis. You would have to let the camera dry out before reinserting the battery and would require a day or two above 70 to 80 degrees with the end cap removed.
Sorry for your issue.
Bob
